St James Park, Central Of London

FROM THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE, we walked to St. James Park which is nearby. First thing first, we looked for the restroom and we have to fork out 20 pence to use them. Well, we do not mind paying as long as the toilets are well kept and clean and that was exactly what they are. With the hot weather looming above us, we got some lemonade to quench our thirst and we were amazed by the crowd who were out on this beautiful Sunday...

St James Park is a 23 hectare park situated in the City of Westminster, Central London and it is bounded by Buckingham Palce to the west, the Mall to the north, Horse Guards to the east and Birdcage Walk to the south. The park has a small lake with two islands, West Island and Duck Island...

One side was facing the London Eye...

And the other side is called the Duck Island...

no wonder there are families of ducks swimming in this beautiful lake...

Do visit London in the next couple of years;Garden Bridge and Brixton Somerleton project. The latter has won an award for a project that hasn't even started. A high line of a mile long, along the concept of Manhattan's high line, is in the making. This project is the first of its kind in the UK, if successful it will be rolled across the country. I had a lot of input in the consultation stage including the selecting the architect (award winning).https://www.gardenbridge.london/http://futurebrixton.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20130629-somerleyton-road-stage-c-report-rev-k-1.pdf
